Spike

I emailed in sick yesterday. This cold is a really nasty one -- we're sure it is a cold: Nanette developed the same symptoms at the same time I did, so we probably caught it at the same time from someone at market.

I think I'm getting a little better: my eyes are still watery enough to make reading a nuisance, but the pressure in my sinuses has eased enough that I hope to make it through the night without using any more Advil. Yesterday and earlier today the sinus pressure was so bad it was making my teeth hurt.

I'm coughing a lot, but I think that is because I have been breathing so much sludge. With the drainage slacking off, I hope the coghing will ease off too.

In the evenings I've been watching reruns of CSI (the Las Vegas one). They are new to me, since I have never watched the show in the past. Cartoon Network seems to be in one of its occasional cycles of very lame programming, and watching Food Network, my other usual selection, just makes me sad at the moment. On Monday Altom Brown made popovers: milk, eggs, sugar, and a small amount of flour.

The CSI reruns are on a cable channel called Spike, and I am outside their target demographic (males under 35? redneck males in general?) to a degree that makes the ads they run quite surreal.
